In 2004 I was working 4 days a week in New York State and renting an apartment; returning on Thursday night for a weekends at home. I took private lessons with Robert Glaisek in Nyack during this period. Bob suggested that I do a self portrait and I did this work at the apartment, using a mirror to see myself (no photo reference). So this was how I saw myself as I painted - of course it is not how others saw me since this is a mirror image. And my expression seems a little stern - is that really how I look? Mirror mirror on the wall who's the sternest of them all!
